■which, as in the preceding number, the games are chiefly the games of educated 

 children. A note on Clarendon Palace with a reproduction of Stukelej''s 

 view of the ruins follows, and then come eight pages of reprints of notices of 

 matters concerning Wiltshire from the G entlemaiC s Magazine. These are 

 of much interest, and are to be continued in future numbers. Notes on old 

 rhymes ; the last use of the pillory in Wilts ; a Wilts inventor ; Mr. J. Browne's 

 antediluvian theory of Stonehenge ; a pretty little view of Purton, from 

 No. 36 of Marshall's Select Views in Great Britain \ and queries and 

 replies on various matters complete the number.

Sherston. Good Words for May, 1894, has a paper by the Very Rev. Dean 

 Spence, entitled " The City of the White Walls," illustrated with three sketches 

 of Sherston, by Herbert Railton ; in which the author argues that the " White 

 Town" mentioned in the poem of Llywarch Hen as sacked and destroyed 

 immediately after the great British defeat at Deorham (A.D. 577) was 

 " Sceorstaue," meaning the " White or Bright Stone," the modern Sherston 

 Magna — near which he says the stones marking the ford by which the Roman 

 Foss Way crossed the Avon, as well as the earthworks of the military station 

 adjoining, are still visible— the spot still bearing the name of " White Walls." 



Wilts Corporation Plate. The Illustrated Archceologist, March, 1894, 

 has a short illustrated paper on this subject, which will appear in a more 

 complete and extended form in a future number of the Wilts Archao logical 

 Magazine. 



The Jutes and the Wansdyke. Under this title Mr. F. M. Willis has a 

 short paper in the Antiquary for June, 1894, in which he argues " That the 

 Jutes had a strong colony on our east coast even prior to the coming of Julius 

 Caesar ; (2) that after the departure of the Romans they formed fresh 

 settlements in other parts of the country, notably in Oxfordshire, Gloucester- 

 shire, and Worcestershire ; (3) that to them we may attribute that great 

 archteological puzzle, the Wansdyke." His arguments are entirely ety- 

 mological, founded on the supposed resemblance of place-names in Oxfordshire 

 and Gloucestershire and along the line of the Wansdyke with others supposed 

 to be of Jutish origin in Kent and Hants. The making of the Wansdyke 

 itself he refers to iEsc, the son of Hengest.
